But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM
Gawyn is not a citizen of Tar Valon. At the time when the letters were written. he wasn't employed in any way by the White Tower - he was not a part of the Tower Guard, the Younglings were getting disbanded, and he was not a Warder or even in training for a Warder.

And this is not a routine letter between lovers/spouses about business matters which can be left to the secretary. They've had a major fight, and Gawyn was so hurt he left the Tower. Yet Egwene was callous enough that she didn't take 5 minutes to write a warmer and more polite letter asking him to come back even though she knew Silviana disliked Gawyn and would probably rudely order him.

There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 502 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 1012 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1072 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 737 Views
Great work, Cannoli - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 1028 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1093 Views
while i agree with you on most of this - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1156 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 927 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 487 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1205 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 1005 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 966 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1130 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 930 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1175 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 978 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1143 Views

That's not really clear - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 1071 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 976 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 971 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 1003 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 1046 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 903 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1356 Views
Except... - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 1001 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1138 Views
